The WRAPPA is for single person use as an anchor point onto
vertical scaffold poles (standards). It is for use with a shock-
absorbing lanyard and full body fall-arrest harness.
SpanSet recommends that all PPE be personal issue.
Users must read and understand the information sheet and
instructions before using the GRIPPA.
FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
- Turn the sling inside itself TWICE around the pole and clip
into the choked end with the lanyard termination
(karabiner or scaffold-hook).
- The position of the WRAPPA is crucial for breaking
falls. Ensure enough height clearance is obtained below
the WRAPPA. The length of the fall and lanyard extension
should be taken into consideration to avoid all obstacles.
- Any items to be attached to the sling, for example
Karabiners, must be smooth and free from any burrs, or
sharp edges. Ensure all components of the system are
compatible.
- Always ensure your attachment point is suitably strong, at
least 10kN, and ensure attachment point is above the user.
- The sling strength is not significantly reduced when wet.
However in wet and icy conditions use additional caution,
as grip can be reduced.
- Never put the sling in direct contact with sharp edges.
WARNINGS
- Scaffold work a dangerous activity - learn how to use the
WRAPPA and make sure you understand how it works, if
in doubt contact SpanSet.
- Please note that you are personally responsible for
learning how to use the WRAPPA (Health and Safety at
Work Regulations) and taking the appropriate safety
measures, and that you accept total responsibility for the
use of this product.
- A rescue plan must be in place to deal with any
emergencies that arise during work.
- No alterations or repairs should be made to this
equipment.
- The WRAPPA should not be used anywhere other than on
vertical scaffold poles of 50mm diameter.
- Only attach a fall arrest lanyard certified to EN355 using a
full-body harness certified to EN361 to the WRAPPA using
connectors complying with EN362.
STORAGE AND PROTECTION
Keep these instructions, or a copy with the Adjustable Rope
All equipment should be stored in the following manner:
- To prevent contact with sharp objects.
- Away from harmful substances.

INSPECTION AND EXAMINATION
Keep these instructions, or a copy with the attachment sling to
aid future inspection, and examination. The equipment must
be visually examined by a competent person when delivered
to site/works and thereafter at regular intervals (at least every
12 months), always thoroughly examine the sling before use.
Particular attention should be made to the following, and if
any damage found immediately remove the sling from service:
- Check the outer cover for cuts, or abrasion.
- Check for any fibres evident through outer cover.
Slings are susceptible to damage from acid rain, or alkali,
the slings strength could be seriously reduced by even short
exposure, and you probably will not be able to tell it has been
damaged. A sling you suspect to have been in contact with
acids, or alkali should immediately be withdrawn from service.
The attachment sling may be cleaned if required with mild
detergent in hand hot water, it should then be thoroughly
rinsed and allowed to dry naturally.
NOTE: REMEMBER; DO NOT ABUSE PPE. Your life
depends on your equipment and the way it has been
used in the past. A sling should be immediately removed
from service, and disposed of, after being subjected to
any fall, or if in any doubt about the sling condition.
